Ella's Birthday

Ella was born one year and 3 minutes ago, at 7:41. The joy that moment brought to our family will not soon be forgotten. As I awoke this morning, holding my Alida, I held her a little bit tighter as I cried in bed. Ella can never be replaced, and I will forever hold my children a little bit closer. This has been a trying week, with Ella's birthday approaching, and I am sure the upcoming month will be as well. I am one to remember specific details and I remember every detail of sweet Ella's life with us. It is hitting me harder than I thought, although I never thought it was going to be easy. Easy and death of a child will never go hand in hand.
